Alibaba Trade Assurance Failure! Unhelpful Seller, and Unexpected Costs

On January 13, 2024, I purchased a tablet from Alibaba with order number 199058534001028684 for $618. Despite buying the product with trade assurance, it arrived in Istanbul on February 1, 2024, without any communication from the seller. I continuously tried to contact the seller for updates on my order. Later, I was informed that I would need to pay a total of $650, including customs duties and other fees, to receive the product in Turkey. As I didn't have the extra funds, I informed the seller that I couldn't accept the delivery and wanted to return the product. However, the seller offered no assistance. I then appointed Alibaba as a mediator (Alibaba Case Number: 100023030327). Instead of supporting the customer, Alibaba sided with the seller, leaving me stranded. They repeatedly asked me to provide evidence. I submitted all relevant information and documents as proof to Alibaba. Despite this, Alibaba extended the process and requested further evidence. I complied and uploaded additional proof. There's a universally accepted commercial rule that customers have the right to return a product. By disregarding my right to a refund, Alibaba favors the seller and prolongs the process, causing me distress. I demand a resolution to this matter.

"The issue was a dispute between the supplier and me due to customs expenses. Neither the payment nor the product was delivered by the seller. However, the mediator, the alibaba.com platform manager, resolved the issue and a refund was issued. This situation made me realize once again that alibaba.com is truly a very reliable site. Thank you, alibaba.com platform."
